Quotes to ponder:
"Your thoughts and beliefs can act like a nocebo, leading to poorer outcomes simply because you expect them."
"Being told you’re 'broken' or have to train a certain way can plant seeds of doubt that sabotage your progress."
"You are not fragile, and your body is not a ticking time bomb waiting to explode if you move 'wrong.'"
